Located in the Middle Circle in Connaught Place, which has now cemented its status as the food capital of Delhi, Fuji claims to bring the most authentic Japanese food in Delhi NCR to its patrons.
From the rare ingredients to the cutlery, everything at Fuji is handpicked and imported straight from Japan.
The interiors are simple and very traditionally Japanese. The restaurant also includes a section where you sit on the floor with your legs tugged away in a recess in the floor.
The decor is minimal – very wabi-sabi with matting, rough textures on the walls, wooden flooring, jute screens, and Japanese paintings on the walls.
We were served four drinks.
The first was a potato-based Vodka drink that is served either neat or on ice. We went for the on-ice version which tasted very interesting. The second was the famous Japanese Asahi beer, which tasted very nice.
The third drink was a mocktail – a Wasabi-flavoured Virgin Bloody Mary. Absolutely amazing, the wasabi had been infused with the drink perfectly to create a truly unique drink.
The final drink was a fruity guava-based mocktail which again tasted very nice.
Along with the drinks we were also served a very mild infusion of Jasmine Tea.
We were served two appetizers – Edamame, which was a dish of boiled of green soybeans that were lightly salted and tasted interesting, and a dish of marinated salmon served with caviar. The raw salmon had been so beautifully marinated that you couldn't tell that it was raw. It was truly an excellent start.
We were served Miso soup in small bowls. Clear miso soup with some extremely top quality tofu, the dish had subtle flavours and tasted extremely nice.
We were first served Ebi Tempura – five pieces of prawn dipped in a light batter and deep fried. Served with asparagus and a soy-based Tempura Sauce, the overall taste was very exotic and subtle, with the flavour of the prawn and asparagus coming through beautifully. Overall, it was a great dish.
Next up was the famous FUJI-Nigiri Moriawase, which comprised of 12 rolls of nigiri sushi and one California roll. An absolutely delectable spread, the platter had almost every single combination of sushi possible. Alongside was some absolutely amazing and authentic wasabi, top of the line soy and sweet ginger. It was another phenomenal combination and another great dish.
The third dish was the Chicken Katsu – a bread-crumbed deep fried chicken cutlet that was served on a bed of salad and a slightly sweet tartare sauce alongside it. The chicken was soft and succulent while the outer coating had deep fried to crispy perfection. An excellent combination of flavours and textures, I absolutely loved it.
For dessert we ordered three dishes – Green Tea pudding, Caramel Custard and Almond Jelly with a Mango Sauce.
The Green Tea Pudding was definitely unique with a different flavour all together and tasted very nice.
The Caramel Custard wasn't textured like the usual caramel custard but definitely tasted wonderful. I personally loved the burnt taste of caramel.
It seemed like the best had been saved for last as the Almond Jelly with Mango Sauce was simply phenomenal, a great combination of textures and flavours, it was the perfect end on a spectacular meal.The best dish was saved for last. Great texture, great combination.
Fuji is truly a gastronomic odyssey to Japan and delivers a scrumptious experience of Japanese food and ambience, making you want to definitely return for more.

The Seabin Project: collaborating to bring manufacturing home
Seabin Project started with a passion for the ocean and the realisation that human over-consumption and waste mismanagement was killing our oceans. This is how Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski, two avid water lovers, created the Seabin—an innovative product designed to collect trash, oil, fuel and detergents.
According to CEO and Co-Founder of the Seabin Project, Pete Ceglinski, "The idea was that if we have rubbish bins on land, why not in the water?"
"Myself and Andrew teamed up in 2013. I met Andrew while I was a boat builder, working on yachts for the America's Cup. Andrew had the idea for the Seabin, but didn't know how to bring it to life. I had been a product designer, creating commercial products from sketch to shelf. So, for me, when Andrew explained his idea, it was one of those lightbulb moments—I could use my design, engineering and marketing skills, while still being out on the water and travelling the world, and have a career with purpose."
In 2014, Ceglinski quit his job and used his life savings to lease and renovate an old disused furniture restoration factory in Palma Mallorca, Spain. Following a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised $362,000, the first commercial prototype of the Seabin was developed over the next two years, with commercial production starting in May 2018.
"In only 18 months we scaled into 52 countries with 860 units. The global Seabin fleet now collects 3.6 tonnes of litter a day, and filters over 500 million litres of water per day," said Ceglinski.
How the Seabin Works
The Seabin moves up and down with the range of tide collecting all floating rubbish. Water is sucked in from the surface and passes through a catch bag inside the Seabin, with a submersible water pump capable of displacing 25,000 litres per hour, plugged directly into 110/22V outlet. The water is then pumped back into the marina, leaving litter and debris trapped in the catch bag to be disposed of properly.
Each Seabin can catch an estimated 3.9kg of floating debris per day, or 1.4 tonnes per year (depending on weather and debris volumes), including micro plastics down to 2mm. To put these figures into perspective, this is the equivalent of 90,000 plastic bags, 35,700 disposable cups, 16,500 plastic bottles, and 166,500 plastic utensils per year.
Not surprisingly then, the Seabin has taken out several big-name awards. In 2018, the product was recognised by Time Magazine in their Top 50 Inventions of Year, and Good Design Australia just named the Seabin as one of the Top 10 Designs of the Decade.
Collaboration Fast-Tracks Success
According to Ceglinski, collaboration was key, particularly early-on in the company's journey. "Seabin is the third reinvention of myself—I went from designing products, to building boats for high-end racing yacht teams, to Seabin. So I didn't want to have to reinvent the wheel too much with the Seabin Project, and we literally had to sell products to stay alive. That's why we established joint ventures and found partners straight away."
"We partnered with a marina manufacturer to scale-up. The marina manufacturer was looking for a way to enter a new market that, traditionally, had been closed off to competition; for them, Seabin was a way into that market. We used the marina manufacturer's existing sales and distribution networks. That's how we were able to scale-up without being out of pocket. As a result, we now have 32 sales and commission based staff looking after 52 countries."
"Collaboration is extremely important. No business wants to have to reinvent itself too many times. We specialise in design and manufacturing, not sales and distribution. So by collaborating with a partner who did specialise in this area, we were able to fast-track our success—to exponentially scale our success. Collaboration also helps mitigate the risk of failure. If you can collaborate with a partner, you don't need to overreach and take on too much risk yourself."
Bringing Manufacturing Home
The Seabin Project has partnered with Brisbane-based Evolve Group for the manufacture and production of their new Seabin 6.0.
"Our collaboration with Evolve Group will see us switch to injection moulding, reduce the amount of steel in Seabins by up to 70 per cent, and add sensor capabilities. These changes will increase the efficiency of our product, lower our carbon footprint, and increase our gross margins."
"We're also keen to re-shore our manufacturing from Europe from Australia. We don't want to send everything offshore; we want to create local jobs. Manufacturing in Australia is cost competitive, particularly in terms of quality control, clear lines of communications and reliability. Manufacturing in Australia, by Australians, also offers added benefits like R&D incentives and innovation grants."
The Seabin Project estimates it currently holds only 0.1% of the potential market for Seabins globally, with shorelines worldwide having capacity for 600,000 Seabin units – or a potential sales opportunity worth $2.4 billion.
To help tap into this opportunity, the Seabin Project launched an equity raising campaign in late February. With a target of $3 million, the campaign raised a staggering $1 million in just four days.
According to Ceglinski, "The minimum buy-in is $250 and, as it's an equity raising campaign, investors become shareholders. The more shareholders we can get, the bigger the voice we will have when speaking with decision makers like local, state and federal governments, which are our near future clients. Our goal is to secure government contracts. So the more people who can lobby for our solutions, the better it is for our shareholders, and our oceans."

HAZOURI, J.
On June 21, 2001, K.W. Brown and Co. d/b/a K.W. Brown Investments, a Florida Corporation, and Kenneth Brown (collectively, "Appellants") filed a Complaint for a temporary and permanent injunction, seeking to prevent Billie and Barbara McCutchen ("the McCutchens") from prosecuting an arbitration claim against them that is before the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), case number 00-04714. The Complaint indicates that on January 24, 2000, the McCutchens entered into a series of Management Agreements with 21st Century Advisors, Inc. ("21st Century"), an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, for the management of their IRA investment accounts. The Management Agreements, which were attached to the Complaint, authorize 21st Century to select a broker dealer unless otherwise directed and provide that K.W. Brown Investments is 21st Century's affiliated broker dealer. Kenneth Brown is the president of 21st Century and corporate principal of K.W. Brown Investments.
The Complaint further alleges that in accordance with the Management Agreements, 21st Century placed orders for the McCutchen's accounts through K.W. Brown Investments. While 21st Century is not a member of NASD, Kenneth Brown is an associated member of NASD and K.W. Brown Investments is a broker-dealer member of NASD. The Management Agreements do not contain an arbitration clause.
Attached to the Complaint is also a copy of the Statement of Claim filed with NASD by the McCutchens on December 1, 2000. In the Statement of Claim, the McCutchens requested that the NASD arbitration panel assess damages against Appellants for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud. The McCutchens asserted that Appellants agreed to manage their retirement accounts conservatively by diversifying their holdings and placing the majority of their holdings in non-volatile investments. The McCutchens further asserted that contrary to their agreement and contrary to their instructions, the Appellants utilized very risky investments including extremely volatile technology stocks which resulted in the McCutchens sustaining substantial losses.
The instant Complaint alleges, "As a result of the allegations contained in the Statement of Claim and the Management Agreements attached hereto, it is clear that there is no disputed claim or controversy that is eligible for arbitration under the NASD Code of Arbitration Procedures between the Plaintiffs and the Defendants." The McCutchens filed a Motion to Dismiss Complaint, arguing that the case was properly before the NASD panel, which decided it had jurisdiction.
At the hearing on the motion, Appellants argued that they were not contractually obligated to arbitrate the issues before NASD because there is no nexus between the dispute and the services they performed. Appellants alleged that the claims before NASD arose out of the *979 McCutchens' relationship with 21st Century, which is not a member of NASD or subject to its rules. The McCutchens argued that Appellants are members of NASD and the bylaws of NASD requires them to arbitrate any claim brought by a customer regardless of whether or not there is a contract. The trial court conducted the hearing without taking any evidence and made no findings of fact or law but simply entered an order granting the motion to dismiss and dismissing the complaint without prejudice. FN1
FN1. This is a final appealable order, as it dismisses the complaint without leave to amend. See Carnival Corp. v. Sargeant, 690 So.2d 660, 661 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) (an order dismissing a complaint without leave to amend is a final appealable order, even though it does not contain the words "with prejudice").
Appellants contend that the instant Complaint invokes the court's jurisdiction to decide the issue of arbitrability and should not have been disposed of on a Motion to Dismiss. Appellants assert that where parties have not agreed to arbitrate the issue of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration, the issue of arbitrability must be decided independently by the court.
[1] [2] The trial court did not specify whether it was dismissing the Complaint for failure to state a claim for which relief could be granted or for lack of jurisdiction. When considering a motion to dismiss, the trial court must look only to the four corners of the complaint, including the attachments incorporated in it, and the allegations contained therein should be taken as true without regard to the pleader's ability to prove the same. Alevizos v. John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Found., 764 So.2d 8, 9 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999) ; Provence v. Palm Beach Taverns, Inc., 676 So.2d 1022, 1023 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996) . The sufficiency of a complaint in a civil action is a question of law, which is reviewable de novo. See Rittman v. Allstate Ins. Co., 727 So.2d 391 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) .
[3] To obtain a permanent injunction, a plaintiff must establish a clear legal right, an inadequate remedy at law and that irreparable harm will arise absent injunctive relief. Dania Jai Alai Int'l, Inc. v. Murua, 375 So.2d 57, 58 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979) . Appellants' Complaint for a temporary and permanent injunction, seeking to prevent the McCutchens from prosecuting the arbitration claim against them before NASD, alleges, "As a result of the allegations contained in the Statement of Claim and the Management Agreements attached hereto, it is clear that there is no disputed claim or controversy that is eligible for arbitration under the NASD Code of Arbitration Procedures between the Plaintiffs and the Defendants."
A legal remedy is inadequate in this case, as no legal remedy can compensate Appellants for having to allegedly undergo an arbitration process in which they did not agree to participate. In the absence of injunctive relief, Appellants would be forced to proceed with an arbitration proceeding to which they did not allegedly consent. Therefore, the remaining question is whether Appellants' allegations demonstrate a clear right to relief. To answer this question it is necessary to determine whether the issue of arbitrability should be decided by a court or by the NASD panel.
[4] [5] Because the parties' underlying claims in arbitration involve securities, the Federal Arbitration Act applies. See Adler v. Rimes, 545 So.2d 421, 422 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989) ; Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. v. Melamed, 405 So.2d 790, 793 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981) . The McCutchens correctly note that in enacting Section 2 of the Federal Arbitration Act, "Congress declared a national policy favoring arbitration." *980 Southland Corp. v. Keating, 465 U.S. 1, 10, 104 S.Ct. 852, 79 L.Ed.2d 1 R.9.800(k) (1984). However, this policy "does not require parties to arbitrate when they have not agreed to do so." Volt Info. Sciences, Inc. v. Bd. of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior Univ., 489 U.S. 468, 478, 109 S.Ct. 1248, 103 L.Ed.2d 488 (1989) ; see also First Options of Chicago, Inc. v. Kaplan, 514 U.S. 938, 115 S.Ct. 1920, 131 L.Ed.2d 985 (1995) (arbitration is a matter of contract, and a party cannot be required to submit a dispute to arbitration unless the party has agreed to do so) (citing AT & T Techs., Inc. v. Communications Workers of Am., 475 U.S. 643, 649, 106 S.Ct. 1415, 89 L.Ed.2d 648 (1986) ); Seifert v. U.S. Home Corp., 750 So.2d 633, 636 (Fla.1999) .
[6] [7] Whether the arbitrators or the courts have the primary power to determine arbitrability depends on whether the parties agreed to submit the question of arbitrability itself to arbitration. Corporate Sec. Group v. Lind, 753 So.2d 151 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000) (citing First Options, 514 U.S. at 944, 115 S.Ct. 1920). Courts should not assume that the parties agreed to arbitrate the issue of arbitrability unless there is "clear and unmistakable" evidence that they did so. See id. (citing First Options, 514 U.S. at 944, 115 S.Ct. 1920).
The parties agree that there is no express agreement to submit the issue of arbitrability to the arbitrators. The McCutchens argue that Appellants have agreed to have the issue of arbitrability decided by a NASD panel by virtue of their membership in NASD, generally citing Section 10301(a), NASD Code of Arbitration Procedure (2000). Section 10301(a) provides:
(a) Any dispute, claim, or controversy eligible for submission under the Rule 10100 Series between a customer and a member and/or associated person arising in connection with the business of such member or in connection with the activities of such associated persons shall be arbitrated under this Code, as provided by any duly executed and enforceable written agreement or upon the demand of the customer.
In John Hancock Life Insurance Co. v. Wilson, 254 F.3d 48 (2d Cir.2001) , the second circuit held that membership in the NASD, without more, is not sufficient to show that the parties agreed to submit the question of arbitrability to the arbitrators, but that it is sufficient, without more, to bind the NASD member to arbitrate the investor's claims. Id. at 53. As the second circuit noted, at a glance this resolution may seem inconsistent. This apparent inconsistency is resolved by noting that there are two prerequisites before a NASD member can be compelled to arbitrate: (1) a complaining party must be a "customer" of the NASD member, and (2) the "dispute, claim, or controversy" must have arisen "in connection with the business of such member." See id. at 58; see also Vestax Sec. Corp. v. McWood, 280 F.3d 1078, 1081 (6th Cir.2002) ; Wheat, First Sec., Inc. v. Green, 993 F.2d 814, 820 (11th Cir.1993) .
Since Appellants are NASD members and conceded at oral argument that the McCutchens are their customers, the only remaining prerequisite is whether the "dispute, claim or controversy" arose "in connection with the business" of Appellants. The McCutchens' Statement of Claim attached to the Appellants' Complaint clearly makes factual allegations that their claims arose in connection with the business of Appellants. Therefore, we conclude that although the issue of arbitrability is an issue to be resolved by the trial court and that the trial court erred when it summarily dismissed the complaint, nevertheless we affirm FN2 the dismissal because *981 pursuant to the allegations in Appellants' Complaint and attachments, combined with the concession at oral argument, Appellants are required to arbitrate. We do not pass on the merits of the claims, as that remains for the NASD panel to determine.
FN2. See Indus. Builders, Inc. v. Heritage Ins. Co. of Am., 416 So.2d 1244, 1246 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982) (decision of a trial court is generally affirmed if it is supported by the evidence or an alternative theory) (citing Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150, 1152 (Fla.1979) ).

Lucas van Leyden, také Lucas Hugensz nebo Lucas Jacobsz (květen nebo začátek června 1494 Leiden – 8. srpna 1533 Leiden) byl severoholandský malíř, kreslíř, mědirytec, autor leptů a dřevořezů. Získal proslulost ještě během svého života a je považován za jednoho z největších rytců v historii umění.

Život
Lucas van Leyden byl synem malíře Huygha Jacobsze (1460–1538) a jeho ženy Marie Hendriksdr. Matka zemřela po porodu a otec se znovu oženil. Základy malířské techniky se Lucas naučil patrně u svého otce. Podle Carla van Mandera byl Jacobsz relativně dobrý malíř, jeho díla se však nedochovala. Od roku 1508 se školil u leydenského malíře oltářních obrazů Cornelise Engebrechtsze. Lucas projevoval talent už v raném věku a stýkal se pouze s mladými umělci – malíři, rytci skla a zlatníky. Rytectví se zřejmě naučil u některého zlatníka nebo dekoratéra zbraní, a první rytinu zhotovil ve věku devíti let. Ve dvanácti letech prodal první obraz – akvarel sv. Huberta. Jeho nejstarší datovaný mědiryt je Mohamed a mnich Sergius (1508).

V roce 1514 byl přijat mezi mistry malířského cechu v Leydenu a rovněž do cechu střelců, v němž byl jeho otec kapitánem. V letech 1514, 1515 a 1519 je uváděn v seznamech leydenských mušketýrů téhož cechu střelců. Jeho dílna prosperovala a v následujících letech hodně cestoval. V roce 1515 se oženil se šlechtičnou Elisabeth van Boschhuyzen, která mu porodila dva syny. V roce 1521 se v Antverpách setkal se svým současníkem Albrechtem Dürerem, který si cenil jeho umění. Oba si vyměnili své rytiny a navzájem se portrétovali. V roce 1527 podle Mandera cestoval do Brabantska, kde navštívil v Middelburgu Jana Gossaerta a cestovali spolu do Zeelandu, Flander a Brabantska. Navštívili Gent, Mechelen a Antverpy.

Lucas van Leyden neměl žádné žáky ani pokračovatele. Jeho nejstarší syn, Pieter Cornelisz, je znám jako malíř skla. Lucasova dcera z předmanželského svazku se provdala za malíře Hoeye a roku 1533 se narodil jeho vnuk Lukas van Hoey Dammesz. (1533–1604). Jeho druhý vnuk Ioan de Hooy se stal malířem francouzského krále. Lucas van Leyden zemřel roku 1533 v 39 letech po dlouhém onemocnění tuberkulózou. Byl pohřben v Pieterskerk v Leidenu.

Dílo

Druhý učitel Lucase van Leyden, Cornelis Engebrechtsz, je považován za posledního velkého představitel gotického manýrismu, který byl obeznámen s franko-vlámskou malbou a německými a italskými technikami kresby. Od svých učitelů si malíř osvojil zájem o drobnopisné detaily podle děl Hieronyma Bosche nebo panoramatické kompozice krajin dle Joachima Patinira. Během učednických let začal malovat maloformátové žánrové scény (Vykladačka osudu, 1508), podobné dílům Quentina Massyse.

Lucasovy malby byly vyzrálé již v jeho čtrnácti letech a charakterizuje je do podrobností propracovaná a čistá podkresba a harmonické barvy. V osmnácti letech byl považován za nejschopnějšího malíře vlámské školy. Albrecht Dürer je jediným umělcem, který měl na Lucase van Leyden prokazatelný vliv, ale Lucas byl méně intelektuální a více se soustředil na anekdotické prvky scén a žánrové a karikující motivy (Hráči karet, 1508). Malbě se více věnoval až po roce 1520. Jedním z jeho mistrovských děl, které chtěl do svých sbírek získat císař Rudolf II., je oltář Poslední soud (1526/1527).

Kromě obrazů a několika kreseb je známo kolem 174 jeho signovaných rytin a několik leptů z roku 1520, které jsou značeny iniciálou "L", a 21 nedatovaných a nesignovaných dřevořezů. První rytiny (Marie Magdalena na poušti, 1506) vytvořil již ve 13 letech. Rytiny patnáctiletého chlapce (Pokušení svatého Antonína, 1509) se vyrovnají Callotovým.

Rané mědiryty z let 1506–1508 ukazují rychlý rozvoj Lucasova talentu, zejména s ohledem na individuální charakterizaci lidských tváří a péči věnovanou drobným detailům. Podoba Saula v mědirytu David hrající na harfu Saulovi (1508) inspirovala Dürera a převzal ji pro svůj list Martyrium sv. Jana, který je součástí cyklu Apokalypsa (1498).

V následujících letech zpracoval některé konvenční náměty, např. cyklus kruhových grafických listů s pašijovými příběhy v ozdobném rámu s plastickými rostlinnými ornamenty (1509). Zároveň však vytvořil některá svá nejvýznamnější díla a mnohafigurální kompozice, jako Návrat ztraceného syna (1510), kde architektura napodobuje italské vzory (Andrea del Sarto) nebo Velké Ecce Homo (283 x 447 mm), zalidněné více než sto figurami a s architekturou v dokonalé renesanční perspektivě. Věnoval se také venkovskému žánru, pro Holanďany doby renesance typickému. Příznačné jsou nehezké rozšklebené tváře a nevábná nahá těla (Cirurg, Zubař, žena s koněm, Žena se psem). V malém mědirytu Mlékařka (116 x 156 mm, 1510) zpracoval žánrové téma, které inspirovalo holandské umělce ještě o sto let později. Lucasovy rytiny Velké Ecce Homo a Mlékařka obdivoval také Rembrandt a roku 1642 na aukci zakoupil 14 jeho grafických listů za 1400 holandských tolarů.

Období 1512–1519 charakterizuje Dittrich jako expresivní a narativní styl. Příběhy jsou převzaty zejména ze Starého zákona (Šalamounovo modlářství, 1514), Nového zákona (Klanění tří králů (1513) nebo antické mytologie (Pyramus a Thisbe, 1514) a rytiny jsou vytvořeny s mistrovskou lehkostí.

Sblížení s Albrechtem Dürerem mělo na Lucase van Leyden krátkodobě silný stylistický vliv a projevilo se v jeho tvorbě návratem k tématu Pašijí (Malé pašije, 1921). V této době nakreslil také několik mistrovských portrétů (Portrét muže, 1521) a vyzkoušel techniku leptu.

Pozdní grafické dílo Lucase van Leyden bylo ovlivněno společnou cestou s Janem Gossaertem a seznámením s jeho díly, poučenými italskou renesancí. Znal také grafické listy Marcantonio Raimondiho, ve kterých kopíroval díla Dürera a Raphaela také sérii erotických námětů podle předloh Giulia Romana.

V mědirytech Lucase van Leyden z let 1524–1530 převažují antické náměty (Vergilius v koši, 1525) a plasticky modelovaná nahá mužská a ženská těla (Kain zabíjející Abela, 1529, Venuše Amor a Mars, 1530, Lot a jeho dcery, 1530, Alegorie sedmi ctností, 1530).

When you're stuck at home, you miss out on watching Netflix with your friends. But just because you can't meet in person doesn't mean you can't still watch together. Here's how you can watch Netflix with your friends online.
You can make this happen with the Netflix Party Chrome extension. It allows you to create an online chatroom with your friends in which you can all watch the same movie or show simultaneously.
You can send messages in the chatroom, skip parts of the movie, or skip to the next episode of a show. In fact, if you watch a TV show, you can watch multiple episodes in the same chatroom. If you're watching movies, though, you'll have to create a new chatroom every time.
Again, Netflix Party is only available as a Chrome extension, so you'll have to watch on your laptop or desktop instead of your TV or tablet. However, it's worth the sacrifice.
We searched the App and Google Play Stores for alternatives. But thanks to Netflix's strict policy on third-party apps, there are no reliable or secure options for doing this other than Netflix Party. And we recommend you don't use apps that ask for your Netflix username and password.
The Netflix Party extension is incredibly simple to use. All you have to do is share a link with your friends. Once they click it and install the Netflix Party extension, you'll all be able to watch Netflix together.
To get started, visit the Netflix Party Chrome extension page and click "Add to Chrome."
In the popup, click "Add Extension."
You'll now see an "NP" icon in the extension bar. It will be grayed out when you're not using the extension.
Now, open the Netflix website and sign in. Pick something you want to watch with your friends.
When the video starts playing, the "NP" icon in the extension bar will turn red; click it. Click "Start the Party" in the drop-down menu.
If you click the checkbox next to the "Only I Have Control" option, you'll be the only person in the chat who can control the video or skip to the next episode.
Netflix Party generates a unique URL for your chatroom. Copy this and share it with your friends on the messaging platform of your choice. If you don't want to enable the chat feature, just uncheck the box next to "Show Chat."
When your friends click the link, the video will immediately start playing. They'll need to click the "NP" extension icon to enable Netflix Party, and then they'll enter the chatroom.
In the chatroom, you can monitor who has joined or left, as well as who has paused or fast-forwarded the video.
To customize your profile, click your Profile icon in the top-right corner.
Here, you can change your profile icon or Nickname.
Now, all that's left to do is sit back, watch the show, and use the chat feature whenever you want to comment on something.
When you want to end the party, click the "NP" icon, and then select "Disconnect." If you close the video and go back to the Netflix home page, that will also disconnect the party and chatroom.
In Netflix Party, the chatrooms revolve around particular video streams, and there are no permanent rooms or chat histories. Once you're done with a movie and you close the player, the chatroom also disappears.
Watching Netflix with your friends while you're stuck at home is a great way to pass the time. It's also just one of many ways you can watch videos together online.

The essential element in any technical enterprise. Even the big boys follow that advise. GE is closing down their last CFL production facility and concentrating solely on LED lighting. Product demand for aquaponics should be long lived however. The demand for eating has not changed since our ancestors crawled off the savannah eons ago.
No quibble on the differences Gary. I am looking at some of the old references in regards to the hydrostatic/dynamic aspects of the sand.
Cecil, Aaaah now we get to the fins of the matter Another opportunity for regulatory over reach by the legislatures. Gak! In an ideal world I would love to see something like this. A new power complex that has the following: * Power plant. * Farming subsidiaries. * Aquaculture subsidiaries. * Bio recovery facilities. The thought. Power generates juice, their main product. The waste heat from the plant is sold to the subs. Imagine raising Tilapia in North Dakota in January. Either whole or partial discharge water from the aquaculture can be sold to the farming subs to water soil crops. Bio recovery facility creates fertilizer from the aquatic wastes sold to the soil farms. The waste from the fields are manipulated by the bio recovery as partial feed for the aquatic facility. Such an endeavor would sizeable and fights over land use would be a problem but it would make one heck of a goal.
Personally I would put my bet on lack of, or insufficient market research. The second is lack of working capital. Generally the technical aspects of most businesses can be well defined. But a farming operation that can be impacted by environmental shifts, not having enough capital to weather several failures can be a killer.
Well considering that in the US 4 out of 5 new businesses fail in the first 5 years, that is not bad. RAS is not exactly mainstream, requires unique conditions and well trained personnel.
http://www.theengineer.co.uk/prize-winning-technology-to-make-the-desert-bloom/?cmpid=tenews_1866392 Interesting isn't it? In a conventional plot you want some clay to maintain water holding ability. In an aquaponic type type just the opposite.
Seems to be the exception that proves the rule, worldwide.
Yes indeed. Fact the observations presented could apply to nearly any type of business. A lot of business consultants are always pushing 'right sizing'. Sometimes its bunk, other times not. Rare for an inefficient firm to get big.
Sand as an inorganic has one thing in its favor, it won't burn up in direct heat. If an IAVs operator had a cement kiln nearby they could sell the sand to them for use in cement co-products. Recycle the product.
That might work. The problem is the water and sand ejecta outlet will have to be lower that the IAVs bed to work. Then you have to lift the sand by some means back into the bed.
Here in the States, many water plants never toss their sand unless some persistent contaminate makes it unusable. They backflush/aerate the bed with the particulate captured in micro filter bags. Now follow me here cause I have never tested it. Flood the IAVs and keep it flooded. Insert a airlift sand pump into the bed. The ejecta is dumped into a portable tank the water returning to the bed. Once full, air is injected into the tank creating a fluid bed condition. Particulate captured in filter bags outboard the tank, cleansed water returned to the tank. Once cleaning is complete an outlet would direct the sand back into the bed. Heavy machinery for sure, but I suspect it will be offset by the labor savings. Any showstoppers to this idea?
A case where it is a pleasure to be behind the curve so to speak.


Mediocre wines and poor service. Waitress unattentive-started eating her lunch in the middle of our wine tasting. Did not bring bread that came with meal and did not check back with us to see how everything was. Had to ask for our check. Would not go back again. Btw food was also mediocre.

Darwin woman breaks down telling aged care royal commission of father's treatment

Jo-Ann Lovegrove's father just wanted to find a place where he could smoke and keep his dog.
A witness giving evidence in the royal commission into aged care has broken down while on the stand regarding her father's treatment
She alleged her father had been overmedicated and left with injuries that were not properly treated
The evidence came on the last day of royal commission hearings in Darwin, before the hearings head to Cairns in Far North Queensland
Instead, the 79-year-old dementia patient's indefinite stay in a Darwin aged care centre has allegedly been marked by unchecked injuries, aggravation and oversedation.
After three days of hearing horror aged care stories from Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety today turned the spotlight back to the Northern Territory.
During a tearful account of her father's treatment, Ms Lovegrove said her father's health had deteriorated rapidly in just over six months since he was referred to the centre.
"Dad has dramatically declined and it breaks my heart to see this once fit, active, kind gentleman left in his bed or princess chair, confused, lonely and fading fast," Ms Lovegrove said.
"I want to see my dad cared for and looked after by staff of the Darwin facility the way he should be."

She alleged the Darwin facility — which she did not name — had put her father on heavy sedatives without first alerting her.
"It is concerning that the doctor does not seek my authorisation," she said.
"… I am disturbed by the amount of time he now spends in bed, I can't help but feel this [medicating] suits the staff of the Darwin facility more than it suits my dad."
In her evidence, Ms Lovegrove spoke of visiting her father one day, and finding him "covered in bandages all over his body and dried blood on his face".
On another day she said she found him soaked in his own urine.
"I am concerned as to the length of time it takes staff members to care for my dad after these incidents," Ms Lovegrove said.
Testimony wraps in Darwin, heads to Cairns
The testimony wrapped up five days of commission hearings in Darwin.
It also ended a week of scandal for the sector, which included stories of maggots being found in an elderly woman's wound in a Melbourne aged care centre to the sudden, dramatic closure of one on the Gold Coast.
Earlier in the week there was a day of evidence given relating to the lack of resources allocated to the remote Northern Territory.
The commission juggernaut now heads to Cairns, in Far North Queensland, where it will hear from witnesses affected, along with experts from across the health sphere.
Among those taking to the stand will be aged care facility NewDirection, the Dieticians Association of Australia and celebrated chef and restauranteur Maggie Beer.

Beef Loin Cuts
Beef Loin Cuts Category
The loin yields the most tender and expensive cuts of beef--but not the most flavorful. The choicest portion is the tenderloin, which is exquisitely tender and lean. The top loin and sirloin aren't as tender, but they're a bit more flavorful. Cuts from the loin require very little work to taste great. Indeed, steak lovers consider it almost a sacrilege to marinate them, or to cook them beyond medium rare.
beef club steak
Think of this as a T-bone steak without any of the choice tenderloin muscle in it. These steaks are sometimes also called Delmonico steaks, though that name is more often used for rib-eye steaks. To add to the confusion, rib steaks are sometimes called club steaks.
beef coulotte steak
This is a small, boneless steak cut from the sirloin. It's got good flavor, but it's a bit tougher than other steaks so you might want to marinate before cooking it.
beef filet mignon
These are cut from the tenderloin, and they're the most tender steaks you can buy, though not the most flavorful. American butchers usually call all tenderloin steaks filets mignons, but the French reserve the name for just the cuts at the small end of the tenderloin, which is the best part. As they move away from the filet mignon, the French call their cuts tournedos, filet steak, châteaubriand, and bifteck. American butchers confuse matters even more by sometimes calling top sirloin steaks châteaubriands. Don't marinate these steaks and don't cook them beyond medium rare.
beef minute steak
In some parts of the country, a minute steak is a small, thinly sliced, boneless sirloin steak. In others, it's a thinly sliced eye of round steak. In still others, it's a cube steak.
beef Porterhouse steak
Many believe these to be the best of all steaks. They include parts of two muscles: the flavorful top loin and the buttery soft tenderloin. It's best to grill or broil them without marinating.
beef roast beef
Several cuts are well suited to oven roasting. The most elegant choice is a tenderloin roast, which is lean and tender, but very expensive. A rib roast (sometimes called a prime rib roast) isn't as lean and tender, but it's juicier and more flavorful. A good compromise between the two would be a rib-eye roast, which is basically a boneless, low-fat rib roast. Other candidates for roast beef are a top loin roast, top sirloin butt roast, tri-tip roast, round tip roast, and rump roast. Don't assume that anything with "roast" in its name will work as roast beef. Some roasts are intended for pot roast recipes, for it takes hours of cooking in a liquid to make them tender enough for civilized consumption.
beef short loin
The loin is divided into two main parts: the short loin, which includes the choice tenderloin and top loin, and the sirloin, which lies closer to the rump. Since the muscles in the short loin don't get much of a workout, the meat there is very tender.
The sirloin is near the rump, so the meat's a bit tougher than cuts from the loin or the rib. There are several different sirloin steak cuts, named for shape of the hip bone that's left in them. Going from fore to aft, there's the tender but bony pin bone sirloin, which is right next to the Porterhouse on the carcass, the flat bone sirloin, the round bone sirloin, and finally the wedge bone sirloin, which is closest to the rump and therefore least tender. A boneless sirloin steak is sometimes called a rump steak = butt steak. Sirloin steaks are usually grilled or broiled. Don't overcook them or they'll lose much of their flavor.
Named for its distinguishing T-shaped bone, this choice cut is almost identical to a Porterhouse steak, only it doesn't have as much of the tenderloin muscle in it. It's usually grilled or broiled.
beef tenderloin roast
This is the most tender portion of the entire carcass, and you'll pay dearly for it. You can cut it into steaks, or make a heavenly roast beef out of it. Take care not to overcook it, because it dries out easily.
beef top loin
These are usually cut into top loin steaks, but a whole or half top loin is also a good candidate for roast beef.
beef top loin steak
Think of these as Porterhouse or T-bone steaks that have been stripped of the choice tenderloin portion. They're flavorful and fairly expensive cuts. A boneless top loin steak is called a shell steak, and a very thick shell steak is sometimes called a shell roast.
beef top sirloin butt roast
This is a good cut for making roast beef.
beef top sirloin steak
Some top sirloin steaks are wonderfully juicy and flavorful but others are mediocre, so this is a risky steak to buy. Don't confuse this with an ordinary sirloin steak, which includes a bone. American butchers call a thick top sirloin steak a chateaubriand, although the French reserve that term for a much better cut from the tenderloin
beef tri-tip roast
This is a very flavorful cut that's great for barbecuing as long as you take pains to keep the meat from getting too tough. The trick is to not trim the fat until the roast is cooked so that the juices can tenderize the meat. When it's done, slice it thinly against the grain. This cut is popular in California, but you might have trouble finding it elsewhere. A steak cut from this roast is called a tri-tip steak.
beef tri-tip steak
These steaks are cut from a tri-tip roast.


Katy says: One of the bad things about having a candidate with a history in the IVth Republic is that the campaign can quickly center on the past and not on Venezuelans' current ills.
Case in point: Nicolás Maduro, president of the National Assembly, speaking today at a pro-government May Day rally, criticized Teodoro Petkoff because the Caldera government allegedly "stole" workers' compensation benefits. It's never too late to retread issues that may have been relevant 8 or 9 years ago, and in all fairness, Maduro should have added: "… and the Chávez government let them get away with it!" After all, nobody is in jail for this alleged swindle.
Perhaps Venezuelan scientists should find a way to create politicians whose head is not so full of gas.

Four major wind farms approved for Scotland
Words: Laura Edgar
Four offshore wind farms, together capable of powering close to 60 per cent of Scotland's 2.4 million homes, have been approved by ministers.
Once operational, the four wind farms in the Forth and Tay region – Neart Na Gaoithe, Inch Cape Offshore Limited, Seagreen Alpha and Seagreen Bravo – will be able to produce 2.284 gigawatt (GW) of electricity.
This will be enough to power around 1.4 million homes and produce an estimated carbon saving of 135 million tonnes over their lifetime. The developments, subject to strict conditions and environmental impact monitoring, will also mark a major step towards fulfilling the Scottish government's ambition to have all the country's gross electricity consumption generated through renewable sources by 2020.
Energy minister Fergus Ewing stressed the value of renewable energy to Scotland's economy, noting that the farms are expected to provide between 2,567 and 13,612 jobs during their construction.
"Granting consent for these developments will enable them to bid for an offshore wind contract for difference (CfD) under the UK Government's Electricity Market Reform process.
"The budget for offshore wind (and other less established technologies) in the first of these rounds scheduled for autumn is £235 million, thought to be enough to support around 800 MW of offshore wind in UK waters.
"I am determined to ensure communities all over Scotland reap the benefit from renewable energy, which will help to reduce climate emissions.
"I also want to see the right developments in the right places. The design and location of any onshore and offshore wind farm should reflect the scale and character of the landscape or seascape and should be considered environmentally acceptable," Ewing said.

August 26, 2009 -- Ultrasound imaging technology developer Targeson of La Jolla, CA, has introduced Visistar Integrin, a targeted ultrasound contrast agent for use in preclinical drug discovery and basic science research.
The microbubble contrast agent bears a covalently coupled peptide and is designed to selectively bind alphavbeta3 integrin on the vascular endothelial surface. Alphavbeta3 integrin is a biomarker of angiogenesis expressed on activated blood vessels.
Targeson said the contrast agent could be useful for investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis, molecular imaging of alphavbeta3 integrin expression, and evaluating anticancer therapies.


European Union regulators on Tuesday approved Pfizer's $15.23 billion purchase of injectable drug and infusion device maker Hospira.
The European Commission said Pfizer agreed to sell the European rights to experimental biosimilar version of the immune disorder drug Remicade and a few other products, including some chemotherapy drugs, in certain markets. The Commission said it was concerned the sale would have reduced competition for those drugs in in some countries or in the European Economic Area as a whole.
Pfizer, the second-largest drug company in the world in terms of revenue, agreed to buy Hospira of Lake Forest, Illinois, in February. The purchase will strengthen the New York company's position in the growing market for biosimilars, which are cheaper versions of biologic drugs. Pfizer has said it expects to complete the acquisition before the end of 2015.
Pfizer plans to sell the rights to the Remicade biosimilar in the European Economic Area but will maintain ownership of the drug in other regions, the European Commission said. Other divestitures include the antifungal drug voriconazole throughout the EEA, and the chemotherapy drugs carboplatin, cytarabine, epirubicin, and irinotecan and the antibiotic vancomycin in a few countries.
Shares of Pfizer Inc. lost 9 cents to $36.06 and Hospira Inc. shares rose 3 cents to $89.56 in afternoon trading.


Pennine Tales by Peter Riley. Calder Valley Poetry. £4.50. ISBN: 978-0-9934973-2-2.
Peter Riley was really only a name to me until I read this attractively produced booklet from Calder Valley Poetry. Knowing his links to Jeremy Prynne and the "Cambridge School", I thought he might seem dauntingly experimental. In fact the poems of Pennine Tales are accessible and beautifully written. There are twenty-four, each twelve lines long.
From the start, I loved the polished fluency of the rhythms, with lines slipping seamlessly over line endings except where there's a precisely calibrated hesitancy or interruption or gathering for emphasis in the flow of the thought.
There's something quietly startling about the ghosts. Our imaginations are set flickering between the physical world and a parallel, immaterial one. The subdued tone both muffles and sustains the shock, making it linger rather than being dissipated in the moment of impact. The touch is beautifully light, except in the jingling of "jubilee" and "normality". The slipping between material and immaterial worlds is made easier by the way the physical world seems not quite substantial, with the bus dematerialised to a glimpsed "red flicker through the trees". There's a gravity and weight under the lightness, though, and a constant movement of half-caught suggestions under the surface of the writing. This includes the way the world of myth is made to shadow the "real" one, so that at the end of this first poem a Homeric or Dantean "dark river" draws "the last minibus" into its imaginative orbit. In fact everything in the poem seems volatile and shifting. "But they have caught / the wrong bus" sounds at once sombre and comic. "And will be delivered into nothing" is similarly equivocal. "Delivered" is surprising because the sense of release it brings abruptly reverses the movement into sombre reflection, but the word itself is a little well of meanings and associations sending out ripples of thought, and the whole phrase shimmers with ambiguity.
So the qualification to calling these poems accessible is to say that they're never quite graspable. They lead you on and in as much by their elusiveness as by their inviting approachability, and it's the combination of the two that gives them their richness.
Old Town where old trust survives and needs us.

UTSA Orchestra to 'Carry On' with Kansas
"Don't just play the music – act like rock stars!" UTSA Orchestra conductor Dr. Eugene Dowdy jokes as he tries to coax more animation from the strings section. It's rare that violinists get to act the parts of rock stars during a symphonic performance, but that's exactly what the students of UTSA's orchestra will do next Friday when they take the stage with 70's rock legends Kansas. Famous for classics like "Carry on Wayward Son" and "Point of Know Return," Kansas will partner up with UTSA's orchestra on Sept. 17 as the third stop on an eight show collegiate tour.
Backed by the corporate sponsorship of The D'Addario Foundation, Kansas is both raising money for the colleges' music programs as well as test-driving their new orchestral concept all in one go. "We did a show last year on the band's 35 anniversary in Topeka [KS] with an orchestra and it went really well," explained Kansas' drummer and manager Phil Ehart. "So we started talking to other programs and some people liked the idea and some didn't [laughs]. These first eight dates are a test tour." Apparently things are looking good, as the band now has 40 other schools lined up to accompany them should they decide to take the act full spread.
So how did UTSA end up as beneficiaries on the short list of tentative frontrunners? "We tried to keep it fairly small. We were looking for good music programs that wanted to participate and Eugene [Dowdy] was fairly aggressive in getting back to us and definitely got the concept," said Erhart. "It was a mutual thing." As an added bonus, D'Addario will also make a sizeable contribution to UTSA's music scholarships fund in addition to providing $3,000 worth of musical equipment to the university.
Dowdy won't be conducting the orchestra during the show, however, as that is the job of Kansas' hired gun Larry Baird who will conduct every show on this collegiate tour. Under the guidance of Kansas, Baird wrote and arranged the orchestra score from relative scratch. "The Moody Blues were the first group to do a sort of orchestral rock show like this and Larry was their conductor. Everyone told us you gotta' get Larry, he's the guy," said Ehart. Just because it's an arrangement designed to feature a prominent rock band doesn't mean that the music is easy.
"The music is challenging," said UTSA pianist Victoria Folks. Timpanist John Brown agreed, "in certain songs I have to change tunings in a split second; some of the pieces are very complicated." Despite the fact that most of the students weren't alive when Kansas was first popular, they definitely appreciate the opportunity and understand the significance of the show. "It's pretty cool to see how they do things on stage," said trombonist Becca Patterson. One of the students will see what it's like to be front and center as Kansas has offered UTSA the exclusive honor of accompanying Dave Ragsdale, the band's violinist, in an improvisational solo during the band's hit "Dust in the Wind." Tryouts will be held this week to see who earns the spot.
UTSA and Kansas are set to rock on Friday, September 17 at Trinity University's Laurie Auditorium. Showtime is 8:00 pm and tickets can be purchased at the box office or at Ticketmaster.com for $38 and $48 + fees.
